Sand Hidden Village.
Kazekage Building.
"Damn it! Does the Loulan have no sense of forbearance at all?! How can they bypass us and attack the capital of the Wind Kingdom without any reason?!"
"The current problem is that we should send ninja support as soon as possible. If the daimyo is in trouble, our ninja village's financial support..."
Luo Sha glared at the elder who had spoken: "The problem is, the intelligence our people have gathered says that Wind City has already been occupied by thousands of Loulan soldiers!"
"you tell me!"
"Where did these thousands of soldiers come from?!"
"Don't they only have the Self-Defense Forces?"
The elder of Sunagakure, whose surname was Ōkawa, suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute!"
“Luo Sha, I suddenly have an idea.”
"What?" Luo Sha asked, puzzled.
"You said they sent thousands of Loulan soldiers to conquer the Wind Capital without lifting a finger, and our hundreds of ninjas stationed there were either killed or captured by the enemy. This is enough to show that this is Loulan's elite force."
"Then think about it, what place is the most empty?"
Luo Sha asked uncertainly, "You're not talking about the ancient Loulan Kingdom, are you?"
Elder Da Chuan nodded, stroking his beard: "That's right. As long as we attack Loulan now, they definitely won't be able to defend against it!"
Everyone: "..."
Luo Sha covered his head: "What do you plan to do with Bai Xing and the Queen, those two combatants?"
Elder Okawa said calmly, "If they dare to fight, Kazekage-sama, you go ahead! Do you think we Sunagakure are afraid of them?"
Luo Sha: "???"
You're a spy from Loulan, aren't you?!
Chapter 220 You won, right? Then let's continue tomorrow.
The room where the discussion was taking place suddenly fell silent.
Elder Da Chuan seemed to have noticed something was amiss as well.
"Uh... that..."
Since Loulan hadn't made a move for three years, he had almost forgotten about the Queen and Shirahoshi's fighting prowess.
He wanted to explain further, but Luo Sha stopped him.
"Alright, Elder Da Chuan, you don't need to say anymore."
"You should use your idea yourself."
"I command you as the Kazekage."
"I'm ordering you to go to Loulan alone to assassinate either the Queen or Bai Xing. The mission time is uncertain. Go and make your plans first."
Elder Da Chuan: "..."
"Lord Kazekage, what's the difference between this and sending me to my death?"
"You know you're just sending yourself to your death! Get out of here!"
......
After Elder Da Chuan left, Luo Sha officially began discussions on various aspects.
According to the intelligence at hand, there are about 1,500 Loulan Knights attacking the Wind Capital. The leaders are Kushina Uzumaki, who was once considered a candidate for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in Konoha, and an unknown female ice-style ninja.
The two of them were the commanders of the entire team. The other members of the knight order, when equipped, were each no less capable than a special jonin...
"This...is no less than a Special Jonin? Doesn't that mean more than a thousand Jonin? ...Should we just surrender?"
"The Sand Village only has about 1,500 Jonin and Special Jonin, including active ninjas, clan members, retired ninjas, and those with enough strength to be promoted. How could Roran send an entire village's worth of Jonin to fight a single battle?"
"Oh no! I should have..."
"Enough!" Rasa shouted, stopping the wailing that filled the room. He knew this battle would be difficult, but he had to fight it. He also wanted to make it clear to all the ninjas in the world that Sunagakure was not a village to be slaughtered at will!
"Report——"
Suddenly, a Sunagakure ANBU ninja rushed in through the doorway.
Rasa frowned: "What kind of state is this? The battle isn't even over yet, and you're already in such a sorry state. What will the ninjas from the other ninja villages think of us!"
Faced with Rasa's questioning, the ANBU ninja looked at the somber elders around him, then turned to Rasa, his voice trembling: "Um... there... there's a group of people who have captured Jonin Yekura... and the son of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind... and they've come over."
"?"
“I understand Yekura Jonin. It was Loulan’s deliberate act to demoralize us. But what is the son of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind?” Rasa asked, puzzled.
"...The daimyo of the Land of Wind was apparently killed accidentally by ninjas who entered the city. One of the women claimed to be the daimyo's heir, so..."
"So, from the very beginning, Loulan planned to capture the Daimyo of the Land of Wind and bring him before our ninja army to demand our surrender?!" Rasa went completely mad: "Tell your ninjas! Whoever dares to step into the safety zone of our Sunagakure Village, kill them all!"
"No, Rasa! This will cause a huge disaster!"
"Yes! Yekura is a hero of Sunagakure. The son of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind is equivalent to the future Daimyo. If you do this, what will the other Daimyo think of our Land of Wind? Our Land of Wind will be finished!"
Luo Sha covered his head: "Now they've brought the future daimyo you've been talking about to the battlefield, and there's Ye Cang too. Tell me, what am I supposed to do?"
As soon as these words came out.
The high-ranking officials in the meeting looked at each other, speechless for a long time.
Luo Sha pondered for a moment and also felt that his decision was too impulsive.
He suddenly had a flash of inspiration:
"There is a way."
"We need help. If we tell the neighboring countries what's going on here, they'll know that the ancient Loulan Kingdom doesn't respect international law at all. Not only did they attack the capital city of an innocent daimyo at the first opportunity, but they also didn't treat the daimyo as prisoners of war. They dragged the daimyo to the battlefield to force us ninjas to surrender."
"Great idea! This way, the other daimyo will definitely feel insecure, and the surrounding countries of Loulan will start to worry about their safety and begin to mobilize their armies."
“That’s right! In that case, no matter how powerful Loulan becomes, it is still just a small country that started out. The majority of its power still belongs to the five major powers. It is impossible for it to surpass us all at once.”
"I agree to Lord Kazekage's plan!"
"I agree!"
"agree!"
Soon, the plan to use someone else to do the dirty work was officially put into action. However, Sunagakure needed to buy time and could not allow Roran to easily break through their Sunagakure lines with a so-called hero and a so-called future daimyo.
......
"mean."
"Exactly. That's absolutely despicable! I've never seen such a shameless ninja!"
"Damn it! Release Lord Yecang!"
On the battlefield, which resembled a field of yellow sand, Uchiha Hikaru yawned, pulling on the wheelchair strapped to his back. He even thoughtfully put a gag on Yekura to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide. He could only walk through the battlefield in humiliation, tears streaming down his face, as if being paraded through the streets.
Beside him, Kakuzu was pulling the daimyo's son in the same way, except the daimyo's son didn't have the same backbone, so he didn't need a gag.
"Why...why are you opposing Loulan? Quickly, quickly make Lord Fengying accept Loulan's goodwill. Loulan has agreed that as long as we are willing to surrender, we can become Loulan's subjects in the future."
Faced with the daimyo's son, most of the ninjas wore indifferent expressions. After all, few of them had even seen the daimyo up close, let alone the son of an unknown daimyo.
But there's no doubt they wouldn't dare to make a move.
"stop!"
at this time.
An old man suddenly appeared in front of the group.
He is Chiyo's younger brother, Ebizo.
He did not attend the high-level meetings; he simply served as the commander-in-chief of this garrison.
"Let go of Yekura! And give me back my sister!"
"You think you can just release me like that?" Uchiha Hikaru chuckled. "You must be dreaming."
"If you ask me, why don't I just wipe them all out? Then Sunagakure will still be yours, won't it?" Sasuke said impatiently. He really wanted the war to end quickly so he could go to Konoha to see his mother, father, and brother.
But since he had promised to give Bai Xing the ticket to travel to the past as payment, he still needed to fulfill his promise first.
“It’s different,” Kakuzu said with an air of experience. “If you kill them, they will hate you. The destruction of a country is inherently hateful, and if the hatred is too strong, the likelihood and probability of a counterattack will be even higher.”
“But they don’t seem to appreciate it,” Sasuke said speechlessly. “I think we should just take out the Kazekage, and everything will be fine.”
"Damn it! Do you think you can just attack our Sand Village whenever you want, or kill the Kazekage whenever you want?"
"Commander, we can't take it anymore!"
"Damn it! Those damned Loulan ninjas!"
Upon hearing the word "ninja," Uchiha Hikaru frowned slightly and said, "I'm sorry to say, we are not ninjas. We are simply the guardians of Loulan."
"Also, if you continue to block our way, we will begin our attack."
"Do you think we're afraid?" Ebizo raised his hands, and two or three thousand Sand Village ninjas surrounded the five people present. "Do you think you're the First Hokage? Or Shirahoshi? Or that queen who can only stay in the ancient kingdom of Loulan?!"
You're nothing but a dog of the ancient Loulan Kingdom!
Uchiha Hikari: "Well!"
Kakuzu, sweating profusely, approached Sasuke and whispered, "Quick, activate Susanoo! She's about to use that technique!"
Sasuke: “?”
Although he didn't understand what Kakuzu was saying, he still obediently activated Susanoo.
Upon seeing the purple Susanoo rise from the ground, Ebizo was startled and involuntarily took a step back: "How could this be, how could it be this power!"
Uchiha Hikaru calmly raised his left hand and pressed it against his eye socket. He lifted his chin, his handsome face turned towards the blinding sky, his blood-red eyes seemingly piercing through the atmosphere to reach the moon: "It's just a mere Susanoo. Now, the true power is revealed."
Engraved Tsukuyomi!
